status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete post-medieval copper alloy pastry jigger, consisting of the wheel only and dating to c. 1700 - 1800. The wheel is circular with a crimped edge and a slight circular depression at the centre of each face, for attachment to the handle. This circular area is surrounded by iron staining.
The crimped edge of the wheel would have created a zig-zag pattern in the pastry. The object has a green patina and measures 33.0 mm in diameter, 3.0 mm in thickness and weighs 13.6 g.
A similar wheel can be seen in Bailey 1999; 96, 1, dating to the 18th century.
